Conan's Unscientific Detective

…………

In front of a crossroads.

Miwako Sato squatted beside a pedestrian pole, with her hands clasped together in prayer. In front of her was a white flower in a can.

Today is the anniversary of the death of her father, Sato Masayoshi.

Eighteen years ago, Sato Masayoshi was unfortunately hit by a truck while chasing a suspect. Because it was a rainy day, the ambulance arrived late. It was only after the Sato family arrived for some time that Sato Masayoshi breathed his last.

Listening to Shiratori's explanation, Takagi was surprised and asked, "Could it be that the police officer who was killed in that case..."

"Yes, it's Officer Sato's father, Sato Masayoshi."

Fujino nodded and thought: "That case was called the 'Chou Si Lang' case. After Sato Masayoshi was hit by a truck, he kept shouting out this name to the murderer, so the case was named 'Chou Si Lang'. The police also conducted a large-scale search for him, but about three years ago, the statute of limitations for this case had expired."

"I remember that case, too..."

Takagi recalled, "It was a very elaborate robbery, the amount of the robbery was 550 million yen."

Fujino's ears perked up when he heard this: "Five hundred and fifty million?"

"Yes, a large sum."

Gao Mu said regretfully: "The only clue at the scene was a ten-second surveillance camera footage. No one knows how Sato Masayoshi found the murderer. The matter could not be investigated further and was eventually forgotten..."

"The statute of limitations is really a kind rule."

Huihara Ai crossed her arms and looked at Sato Miwako, as if she was somewhat touched: "After committing an irreparable crime like murder, it is really unreasonable that after hiding for more than ten years, she can return to society openly as if nothing happened. Even though the murderer can come back, for the victim, it is a pain that she will never forget for the rest of her life..."

Fujino also nodded: "If it is the Chinese legal system, even if the murderer hides at the ends of the earth, as long as he has killed someone, even if thirty years have passed, there is still a chance that he will be tracked down in the end, and blood will be retaliated in the end."

Conan looked at Fujino in surprise and thought: "If it is the Chinese legal system, it seems to be like this... But according to the laws here, if the other party has not committed any crime in the past fifteen years or in the future, even if he is arrested, he cannot..."

"This is also something that can't be helped."

Miwako Sato stood up slowly. "Although everyone still remembers the name and the criminal of that case, no one would remember the dead policeman unless they were related to the police force... There is no way to continue the investigation without evidence."

"Anyway, we don't do this job just to be famous..."

After a pause, Sato Miwako looked at Fujino and said, "But it's really a credit to Fujino-kun that he still remembered this old case... I thought detectives would not like to investigate such cases where the murderer could not be brought to justice."

"I just have a good memory. I happened to see this one when I was investigating an old case..."

Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly. "But for a case like this that has exceeded the statute of limitations, we still have to investigate it. Even if we can't bring the criminal to justice, someone will fill this case with a perfect end."

"You mean Rice Krispie Batman?"

Sato Miwako immediately recalled the white figure and shook her head: "It would be okay if the opponent is caught, but if it is just to simply kill the opponent... let's forget it."

In her opinion, bringing someone to justice means catching him and letting him accept legal punishment.

Instead of killing the opponent directly.

Fujino said nothing when he heard this.

As a time traveler, he subconsciously believes that any crime should be repaid with blood and a tooth for a tooth.

Whether it is drug dealers, murderers, or philanthropists who have amassed huge amounts of wealth, they will be sentenced to death under normal circumstances.

But it seems that in the eyes of these people, the murderer is not unforgivable.

Compared to his world, he believed that this world was too 'gentle' towards those criminals who committed heinous crimes.

"But ah..."

Yuan Tai suddenly asked: "The truck driver should have seen the criminal's appearance at that time, right?"

Sato Miwako agreed with Genta's question.

However, the prisoner was wearing sunglasses and a raincoat at the time. Even the driver could not tell the other person's appearance under those circumstances.

Even though I knew that the other person's name was 'Chou Si Lang', in fact, that was not a person's name.

The clues left at the scene were too thin, and the only additional clue was the English letters [KAN O].

"I remember when I was a kid, I used to stare at those words, trying to find some clues."

Sato Miwako smiled helplessly, "At that time, I was still thinking that if anyone could crack this code and catch Chou Silang, I would satisfy any of his conditions."

"Any conditions are acceptable?!"

Both Takagi and Shiratori couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

In my mind, I imagined Miwako Sato wearing a wedding dress and following me into the marriage hall.

"I want a thousand servings of eel rice!"

"If it were me, I'd want to stay in the castle at Tropical Paradise for a night!"

"Then I want a ticket to the International Space Museum!"

The three little ones all expressed their thoughts.

"of course can!"

Miwako Sato smiled and nodded in agreement, then was attracted by the requests of Haibara Ai and Conan.

Huihara Ai thought about it and felt that she didn't need anything, so she casually said, "The latest high-end bag of any brand."

"Then I want tickets for this World Cup!" said Conan.

"Um...okay."

Miwako Sato agreed with a smile.

But I felt speechless in my heart.

Luxury bags and tickets to the World Cup.

Are all primary school students this year so realistic?

"If these kids really find the code, I'm afraid Sato Miwako will be as pitiful as Takayama Minami, with an empty wallet."

Fujino looked at Miwako Sato who was smiling bitterly, and couldn't help but think to himself.

Afterwards, another wave of people came to the intersection to pay tribute to Sato Masayoshi.

That group of people were all Sato Masayoshi's high school classmates, three boys and one girl, and each of them had an animal name in their name, such as monkey, deer, bird, and pig.

After a brief negotiation, they left.

Then, news came from Inspector Megure, who had just handled a bank robbery case, that a man was found suddenly breaking out of the security checkpoint of Shinagawa subway station, and his characteristics were very similar to those described by Ayumi.

Takagi and Shiratori were called to the scene for reinforcement. Fujino felt that he should go over to see if he could help, so they rushed to Shinagawa Station together, while Sato Miwako stayed behind and continued to identify the crime scene with the children.

On the car heading to Shinagawa Station.

[Detective Career Bounty Mission: The Murderer 18 Years Ago

Mission objective: Capture the criminal who robbed a bank 18 years ago and caused the death of a criminal police officer

Mission Reward: 3 million yen, 200 detective reputation points]

"Did you really trigger the system task?"

Fujino sat in the back row, looking at the system task in front of him, thinking secretly in his heart.

This system task was triggered when he met Sato Masayoshi's four old high school friends.

The target he wanted to catch was none other than the old man named Shuji Shikano among the four men.

That’s right, the secret code left by Sato Masayoshi actually pointed to Shikano Shuji.

The so-called "sorrowful man" actually means "turning himself in", but because of his intermittent behavior, he was misunderstood by others.

So Japanese is really inconvenient. There are so many homophones, and a messenger will have a lot of trouble.

And [KAN O] is a very simple word game, referring to Shikano.

What he has to do next is to lure the snake out of its hole.

According to his memory, at a later time, that Shikano would show up and knock out Takagi who had discovered the truth.

And the arsonist will also appear at Shinagawa Station at the same time.

In other words, as long as he follows up and lays an ambush, he can complete these two tasks for free.

Moreover, he actually had some ideas about the 550 million yen that was stolen from the bank.

I didn’t make the 1 billion before, so it’s not too much to make a billion this time, right?

…………

Shinagawa Station.

Shortly after arriving, the suspect was subdued by Fujino, Takagi and Shiratori.

However, the suspect was not an arsonist, but a thief.

"Officer, I'm really not an arsonist!"

The thief was pinned to the ground by the police officer and kept shouting that he was innocent.

"Inspector, we have caught the suspect who escaped from Shinagawa Station."

Shiratori stood aside and straightened his messy suit: "But as for him, he is just a thief who broke into the house..."

Takagi tugged on his collar, wiped the sweat from his temples, and looked at Fujino, who was sitting aside and looking breathless and neatly dressed: "Consultant Fujino, your physical strength is really good. It's so easy to arrest this guy."

"nothing."

Fujino said: "I just exercise regularly and learned some fighting techniques at the kendo hall."

"exercise?"

Gao Mu was stunned: "Can I ask how you usually exercise?"

"Well..."

Fujino thought for a while: "It's probably just a hundred push-ups, a hundred sit-ups, a hundred squats, and a 10km long run every day. It just needs to be persisted every day."

"Ugh?"

Gao Mu was stunned when he heard this: "Do you have to do it every day?"

"Yeah, you have to do it every day. If you give up, it won't work."

Fujino nodded: "It's just that this method is not suitable for everyone. If you are not in good physical condition, you may hurt yourself."

"So that's it..."

Takagi nodded thoughtfully, considering whether to exercise as Fujino suggested.

After all, the scene where Fujino directly pinned down the thief who he and Shiratori couldn't subdue just now was really shocking.

Looking up, he looked at the license plate of the station, but suddenly he was stunned.

Immediately, there was a burst of excitement, and he had forgotten what had just happened.

Because he has discovered the secret of the code!

Thinking of this, he was filled with joy and planned to call Sato and ask him to reward him well.

"Takagi, who are you calling?"

At this time, Shiratori noticed Takagi's strange behavior and bent down to ask.

"nothing……"

Gao Mu nodded in panic and quickly took out the urine shield method: "I just want to go to the bathroom."

Having said that, he quickly stood up.

"I'm going to the bathroom too."

Upon hearing this, Fujino stood up and followed.

"Fujino?"

Gao Mu looked at Fujino who followed him and suddenly felt a little troubled: "Um, you want to go to the bathroom too?"

"Ah."

Fujino nodded and looked at Takagi suspiciously: "You're not going?"

"Ahem."
